August 2022 Ultimate Coffee Date
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
When I was growing up, I spent 10 summers at sleep-away camp with my cousins and sisters. So many of my favorite childhood memories were made at my summer camp. Why am I telling you this? In 2 weeks I will be heading to the Brooks Running “Run Happy Camp” in Park City, Utah. I will spend the weekend doing all things “run happy” with 100+ other Brooks Ambassadors. Last year, “camp” was virtual so it will be fabulous to meet everyone in person.
The best part? My roomie for the weekend is…Wendy! We are going to have so much fun hanging out together. Stay tuned for lots of photos from both of us.

I got my photos back from our mini photo shoot session in Houston. This is one of my favorites. Not sure yet what I will do with them. You might recall, that I attended the Small Biz Social Society conference in June. I have learned a lot in the past year about social media, marketing, brand building, and more. If you would like to join the Facebook group and take advantage of some of the monthly training sessions, hit me up for more info. There is a small monthly charge for group access.

I still have not gotten out on an SUP board at all this season. During the summer of 2020, my friend and I rented them often and that became a fun way to socialize and get out during covid. I don’t know why I have not been yet this summer but I need to make that happen this month for sure.
I have been chatting away today. It’s your turn! If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?
Farrah says
Aww, that’s so cool! I hope you have a ton of fun, and definitely looking forward to pictures! :]
I hope you get to use your SUP more soon! I’ve been hoping to do that again — I joined an outdoor group pretty recently so fingers crossed that I can meet up with them when they’re doing one of those events soon!
Deborah Brooks says
You do have perfect weather for lots of outdoor activities
Marcia says
Have so much fun at summer camp! I loved Park City when I was there for a race years ago. Memories were coming up just yesterday for the Sweatpink Summer Camp I went to a few years back. So fun!
Deborah Brooks says
I am looking forward to it for sure!
Kimberly Hatting says
Thus has been a busy summer of travel for you! Have fun in Utah 🙂 Your photo from Houston is fab; I love the pose (and of course, your smile is on-point).
Deborah Brooks says
Yes, super busy this summer and lots of fun. Thanks I do love the photo too
Wendy says
How fun to have professional photos–the one you posted is really good! It captures you so well–strong and happy and beautiful!
I’m so excited to go to camp with you, but it is going to be a whirlwind! I wish it was a little longer. It’s going to be a lot of fun!
Deborah Brooks says
I am so excited! It will be a whirlwind for sure
Michelle says
I’m sure the Brooks camp will be a blast – you know how disappointed I am that I couldn’t make it work this year 🙁
Love the picture from your photo shoot! I’m still interested in learning more about your group, but with work and my classes I just haven’t been able to take on one more thing. It’s great to hear that you’ve learned so much.
Deborah Brooks says
We are really going to miss you! The group will be here so when you are ready, let me know!
Darlene Cardillo says
You look awesome in that photo. You are very photogenic.
Have in fun Utah… you are the travel queen this summer.
I was so excited to get a SUP but I’ve only used it once….
Deborah Brooks says
thanks and yes, we sure have been traveling quite a bit. I am loving it!
Chocolaterunsjudy says
LOL, I know why you haven’t SUP’d — because you haven’t been home! Or busy running. 🙂
Enjoy your camp. Park City is really lovely & far less humid!
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha I guess you are right! It will happen at some point this summer
Jenny says
OMG, you guys are going to have SO MUCH FUN at camp!!! I can’t wait to hear all about it.
I agree with Judy’s comment- you’ve been traveling so much, i can see how you haven’t gotten out on the SUP. Maybe August will be a calmer month for you (well, except for the trip to Utah) and you can make it happen.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes, Wendy and I are going to have a blast together! This is a more calm month over here so I will make it happen
Jenn says
You are going to have the best time at camp! I’m so excited for you!
I have’t been on an SUP in a minute either. Ugh. This was a weird summer. A had so much going on for himself, that I kind of neglected my fun. Oh, well. I’ll catch up when he goes back to school.
Deborah Brooks says
We are going to have a great time rooming together!
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
Have fun at Run Happy Camp! I’m sure you and Wendy will have lots of shenanigans to share.
I haven’t been out SUP’ing in a few years. I need to change that soon. Perhaps we’ll do it while at the beach later this month.
Deborah Brooks says
yes, I am excited to hang out with Wendy for the weekend and the run happy team
Erica @ Erica Finds says
I can’t wait to hear about your camp! That’s going to be so much fun!
Love the photo, too!
Deborah Brooks says
I am so excited I’ve never been to Park City!
Catrina says
That photo is fabulous, Deborah! You always look good in your photos, but this one is especially great.
Same here with the SUP. Haven’t taken it out once. But maybe tomorrow?
Deborah Brooks says
ah thanks so much Catrina! 🙂
Zenaida Arroyo says
I love your picture! Have fun at camp. Sadly I never went camping as a child. Years later I went maybe twice but didn’t care too much for it.
Deborah Brooks says
Oh I don’t mean camping in tents-that is not for me either. We had bunks at camp as little kids. For the Brooks camp we will be in a hotel
